Doctor Kalchok's Raygun

Updated: Sept. 17, 3:27 p.m.

Doctor Kalchok is one of the SLAVE QUEEN’s most trusted lieutenants. He is a forbidding man dressed most often in a long black leather coat and lab goggles. He is as mad a mad scientist as one will ever find, and the SLAVE QUEEN has made potent use of his insane inventions.

Like his RAYGUN. It’s the size of musket, only heavier, and it shoots wild green lightning more or less at whatever you point it at. In practice, the attack is an area attack that fills a cone for 30 feet in front of the weapon. All targets caught in the blast must make a DC 18 Fortitude save or be paralyzed. Each round, they can make another save with a +1 bonus to try to beat the effect.

The raygun is kind of fiddly, though; each time Doctor Kalchok uses it, he must make a roll — on a 1, the device explodes in a spectacular (though harmless) fashion. For folks who lack the Doctor’s skill with devices of mad science, such an explosive failure occurs on a roll of a 4 or less. Be careful!
